The initial number of molecules, No = 150
The final number of molecules, N = 150
\(\frac { N }{ { N }_{ 0 } } ={ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ n } \ or \ \frac { 150 }{ 600 } ={ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }\)
\({ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }={ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ n } \ or \ n=2=\frac { t }{ { T }_{ 1/2 } } \)
t = 2 x 600 s = 1200 s
Best of disintegration,
\(R=\frac { dN }{ dt } =-\lambda N\)
\(=\frac { 0.693 }{ { T }_{ 1/2 } } \times 150\)
\(=\frac { 0.693 }{ { 600} } \times 150\) = 0.173

Also, ω=2ㅠf = 2π x \(\frac{120}{60}\)
ω = 4ㅠ
Solution:
emf, e = \(\frac12\) x 4ㅠ x 0.4 x 10-4 (0.5)2
= 6.28 x 10-5V
The number of spokes is immaterial because the emf's across the spokes are in parallel
22.
(i) Galvanometer to an Ammeter:

(i) Ammeter is an instrument used to measure current flowing in the electrical circuit.
(ii) The Ammeter must offer low resistance such that it will not change the current passing through it. So, ammeter is connected in series to measure the circuit current.
(iii) A galvanometer is converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance in parallel with the galvanometer.
(iv) Let I be the current passing through the circuit. When current I reaches the junction A, it divides into two components.
a) Ig → Current passing through the galvanometer
b) I - Ig → Current passing through the shunt resistance.
(v) The potential difference across the galvanometer is same as the potential difference across the shunt resistance.
\(\mathrm{V}_{\text {galvanometer }} =\mathrm{V}_{\text {shunt }} \)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{g}} =\left(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{g}\right) \mathrm{S} \)
\(\mathrm{S} =\frac{I_{g}}{\left(I-I_{g}\right)} R_{g} \) (or)
\(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{S}{S+R_{g}} I \Rightarrow I_{g} \propto I\)
Since, the deflection in the galvanometer is proportional to the current passing through it.
\(\theta=\frac{1}{G} I_{g} \Rightarrow \theta \propto I_{g} \Rightarrow \theta \propto I\)
Where, Rg → Galvanometer resistance, S → Shunt resistance.
Since shunt resistance is connected in parallel to galvanometer,
Effective resistance,\(\frac{1}{R_{e f f}}=\frac{1}{R_{g}}+\frac{1}{S} \Rightarrow R_{e f f}=\frac{R_{g} S}{R_{g}+S}=R_{a}\)
Ra ⇒ low resistance. An ideal ammeter has zero resistance.
The percentage error in measuring a current through an ammeter is,
\(\frac{\Delta I}{I} \times 100 \%=\frac{I_{i d e a l}-I_{a c t u a l}}{I_{a c t u a l}} \times 100 \%\)
(ii) Galvanometer to a voltmeter:
i) A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure potential difference across any two points in the electrical circuits.
ii) Voltmeter must have high resistance and when it is connected in parallel, it will rot draw appreciable current so that it will indicate the true potential difference.
iii) A galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting high resistance Rh in series with galvanometer.
iv) Let Rg be the resistance of galvanometer and Ig be the current with which the galvanometer produces full scale deflection.
v) Since the galvanometer is connected in series with high resistance, the current in the electrical circuit is same as the current passing through the galvanometer.

\(\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \)
\(\mathrm{I}=I_{g} \Rightarrow I_{g}=\frac{\text { potential difference }}{\text { total resistance }} \)
Since the galvanometer and high resistance are connected in series, the voltmeter resistance is,
\(R_{v} =R_{g}+R_{h} \)
Therefore,
\(I_{g} =\frac{V}{R_{g}+R_{h}} \)
\(\Rightarrow R_{h} =\frac{V}{I_{g}}-R_{g} \)
Note that \(I_{g} \propto V\)
Rh is very large. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance
23.
Conservation of energy:
(i) The truth of Lenz's law can be established on the basis of the law of conservation of energy. The explanation is as follows:
(ii) According to Lenz's law, when a magnet is moved either towards or away from a coil, the induced current produced opposes its motion
(iii) As a result, there will always be a resisting force on the moving magnet.
(iv) Work has to be done by some external agency to move the magnet against this resisting force
(v) Here the mechanical energy of the moving magnet is converted into the electrical energy which in turn, gets converted into Joule heat in the coil i.e., energy is converted from one form to another.
(vi) On the contrary to Lenz's law, let us assume that the induced current helps the cause responsible for its production.
(vii) Now When we push the magnet litle bit towards the coil, the induced current helps the movement of the magnet towards the coil.
(viii) Then the magnet starts moving towards the coil without any expense of energy. This, becomes a perpetual motion machine.
(ix) In practice, no such machine is possible. Therefore, the assumption that the induced current helps the cause is wrong.
24.
(i) The meter bridge is another form of Wheatstone's bridge. It consists of a uniform manganin wire AB of one meter length.
(ii) This wire is stretched along a meter scale on a wooden board between two copper strips C and D. Between these two copper strips another copper strip E is mounted to enclose two gaps G1 and G2.
(iii) An unknown resistance P is connected in G1 and a standard resistance Q is connected in G2. A jockey (conducting wire) is connected to the terminal E on the central copper strip through a galvanometer (G) and a high resistance (HR).
(iv) The exact position of jockey on the wire can be read on the scale. A Lechlanche cell and a key (K) are connected across the ends of the bridge wire.

(v) The position of the jockey on the wire is adjusted so that the galvanometer shows zero deflection. Let the position of jockey at the wire be at J.
(vi) The resistances corresponding to AJ and JB of the bridge wire now form the resistance R and S of the Wheatstone's bridge. Then for the bridge balance.
\(\cfrac { P }{ Q } =\cfrac { R }{ S } =\cfrac { { r }.AJ }{ { r }.JB } \)
where r' is the resistance per unit length of wire
\(\cfrac { P }{ Q } =\cfrac { AJ }{ JB } =\cfrac { { l }_{ 1 } }{ { l }_{ 2 } } \)
\(P=Q\cfrac { { l }_{ 1 } }{ { l }_{ 2 } } \)
(vii) By interchanging P and Q, another set of readings are taken and the average value of P is value of unknown resistance.

The cut-off wavelength of the characteristic x - rays is
\({ \lambda }_{ ° }\frac { 12400 }{ V } \mathring { A } =\frac { 12400 }{ 20000 } \mathring { A }\)
= 0.62 \(\mathring { A } \)
The corresponding frequency is
\({ \upsilon }_{ o }=\frac { c }{ { \lambda }_{ o } } =\frac { 3\times 10^{ 8 } }{ 0.62\times 10^{ -10 } }\) = 4.84 x 1018 Hz
29.
The moderator is a material used to convert fast neutrons into slow neutrons
(i) A billiard ball striking a stationary billiard ball of equal mass would itself be stopped but the same billiard ball bounces off almost with same speed when it strikes a heavier mass.
(ii) This is the reason for using lighter nuclei as moderators.
30.
The de Broglie wavelength associated with the kinetic energy k is given as \(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m k}}\) , where m is the mass of the particle.
Therefore \(\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{e}}}} \text { and } \lambda_{\alpha}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{~m}_{\alpha} \mathrm{k}_{\alpha}}} \text {. But } \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{e}}=\mathrm{k}_{\alpha} . \)
Therefore \(\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}}{\lambda_{\alpha}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}_{\alpha}}{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}}} \mathrm{m}_{\alpha}>\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}^{*}} \text {. Therefore, } \lambda_{\mathrm{e}}>\lambda_{\alpha^{\circ}}\)

(ii) The field lines nevel intersect since if they cross, there will be two directions of electric field at the point of intersection, which is impossible.
35.

36.
Balancing lengths are
11 = 35 cm, l2 = 63 cm
E1 = 1.25v E2 = ?
At the following point \(E \propto 1\)
\(\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} \)
\(\therefore \frac{1.25}{E_{2}}=\frac{35}{63} \quad \therefore E_{2}=\frac{1.25 \times 63}{35}=2.25 \mathrm{v} \)
∴ EMF of the second cell = 2.25 V

Given, focal length of first lens, f1 = –70 cm,
focal length of second lens, f2 = 150 cm.
Equation for focal length of lenses in contact, \(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\cfrac { 1 }{ { f }_{ 1 } } +\cfrac { 1 }{ { f }_{ 2 } } \)
Substituting the values,
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\cfrac { 1 }{ -70 } +\cfrac { 1 }{ 150 } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 70 } +\cfrac { 1 }{ 150 } \)
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\cfrac { -150+70 }{ 70\times 150 } =\cfrac { -80 }{ 70\times 150 } =\cfrac { 80 }{ 10500 } \)
\(f=\cfrac { -1050 }{ 8 } =131.25cm\)
As the focal length is negative, the combination of two lenses is a diverging system of lenses
The power of the combination is,
\(P=\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\cfrac { 1 }{ -1.3125m } =0.76D\)
40.

\(\mathrm{m}_{\alpha}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{L}_{\alpha}-\mathrm{f}_{0}-\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}\right) \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{f}_{0} \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}} \)
\(100 =\left(\frac{6.5-0.5-f_{e}}{0.5 \times f_{e}}\right) \times 25 \)
\(=\left(\frac{6-f_{e}}{0.5 f_{e}}\right) \times 25 \)
\(100 \times 0.5 f_{e} =150-25 f_{e} \)
\(50 f_{e} =150-25 f_{e} \)
\(75 f_{e} =150 \)
